Call me now….or call me later!
Legal problems have a tendency to grow worse the longer you put off addressing them. What might be relatively easy to take care of early on can grow into a much bigger problem later.
Take, for example, a business dispute. Early on, a consultation with your lawyer will let you know what your rights are, and how you might solve it yourself.
Put it off and the problem can escalate into a full blown confrontation with lawyers on both sides, and maybe even litigation or arbitration.
Of course, your costs, in lost time, attorney fees, and distress, escalate along with the unsolved problem.
Your attorney can consult with you, perhaps make a phone call or two, and write a letter on your behalf, at a modest cost. It is better to do it now than to put it off.
